Windows 10: Useful Registry Tricks to Improve Windows 10 Performance

The registry is an essential component that allows the Windows 10 operating system to function correctly. Users with advanced knowledge very often use this part of the operating system to make modifications with the intention of improving the performance of their computer. In this article we explain tricks that you can use to improve the performance of your Windows 10 PC through the registry.

How to access the Windows registry

Accessing the Windows 10 Registry is very simple, you just have to use the Windows + R key combination, and type the word “regedit” in the dialog box that will open. After that, click Run. Don't forget to take the necessary precautions before making changes to the Windows registry.

Disable lock screen

The lock screen adds a layer of security to your computer by requiring the use of a password or PIN code to log in again. However, if it is uncomfortable for you, how can you deactivate it in a fairly simple way.

To do this you need to navigate to the following route:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\N-SPOLITIES\N-Política de Microsoft Windows

Once inside, you have to use the right mouse button to click on the “Windows” option in the left panel. After that, choose the options “New -> Key” and name it “Personalization”.

Now select this customization option that you have created with the left mouse button, then right-click on an empty space and select “New” – “DWORD (32-bit) Value”. Name the value “NoLockScreen”, and change “Value information” to “1”.

Show detailed information about startup

This is an option that you can use if you are having problems with your computer, since it will show you a large amount of information during the operating system startup process.

Go to the following route:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

After that, right-click on a blank space on the right and select “New” - “DWORD (32-bit) Value”.

Assign the value name “VerboseStatus”, double-click with the left mouse button and modify the value to 1.

Open the last active window in the taskbar

Windows 10 groups all the open windows of an application in the same icon located on the system taskbar, so that you have to click to show you all the open windows it contains.

You may prefer to go directly to the last open application by clicking on the icon in the taskbar.

To do this, go to Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Click again using the secondary mouse button on an empty space in the panel located on the right of the interface and create a value “DWORD (32-bit)” which you must call “LastActiveClick”. Once created, you will also have to change the value to 1 as we have done before.

Disable Aero Shake

Aero Shake is a feature that makes it possible to minimize windows by shaking it. A feature that very few users use, but that consumes a lot of resources.

To delete it navigate to:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Now use the right mouse button on a blank space to create a new DWORD (32-bit) value, and name it “DisallowShaking”. Guess the next step, you will have to change the value information box to 1 and goodbye to the jerks.

Remove the OneDrive button from File Explorer

If you don't use OneDrive, it doesn't make sense for the icon to be loaded in Windows 10 File Explorer. Disabling it will result in fewer background processes on your computer.

Go to the following route:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}

Now you have to double-click on the “System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree” option in the right panel and modify its value to “0”. After this, the OneDrive icon will no longer be loaded on your computer.

Remove Sidebar from Action Center in Windows 10

The Action Center sidebar in Windows 10 system offers quick access to many useful buttons and notifications. If you find them unnecessary and feel uncomfortable having too many of them, then you can consider disabling them. To do this, go to the following location in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell

Now create the value “UseActionCenterExpeirence” in the right panel and change its value to “0”. It will help you have a cleaner and smaller notification panel

Increase virtual memory security

Your system uses a portion of the hard drive as virtual memory in the form of a page file when it runs out of physical RAM. These page files remain on the system even after shutting it down, making it prone to tampering.

To fix it, you can consider deleting the page file every time the PC shuts down.

To activate this setting, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Now double click with the left mouse button on the “ClearPageFileAtShutDown” value and modify its value to 1.

https://preview.redd.it/pd6l8ewvlkl...bp&s=8ac8ecaee4247596b8906e13770fb80d87c9ba4f

Disable Windows startup delay

This setting is intended to speed up the startup process. To do this, go to the Registry location mentioned below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Now right-click on a blank space and create a new key called “Serialize.” Create a new 32-bit DWORD value inside called “StartupDelayInMSec” and set it to 0.

https://preview.redd.it/g79x77g5mkl...bp&s=d596f6d5949b34c0ec8c6a0a259f7c0cbda28cce

Reduce the duration of the Windows menu animation

If you find that the menus are not fast, you may consider adjusting the duration of Windows menu animations. To do this, go to the path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

https://preview.redd.it/r1zjv6ibmkl...bp&s=ea466902a81f0ae35abd9b56459aa94da010fe7e

Scroll down to find the “MenuShowDelay” entry in the right panel. Now double click on it to open it. It will display the data value by default at 400 (milliseconds), change it to a lower value (around 200) to shorten the duration of the animations.

All the best
